Kendall Jenner responded to a viral moment from episode five of "The Kardashians" that showed her cutting a cucumber in a "tragic" fashion.

In a tweet posted Thursday morning, a Twitter user called the way that Jenner cut the cucumber "the most tragic thing I've ever witnessed," accompanying it with a screenshot from a moment in Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians" that shows Jenner attempting to prepare a snack.

Later that day, Jenner responded, quote-tweeting the original tweet with the caption "tragic!"

In the episode, Jenner stopped by her mother's new home after missing her birthday party. When the two settled in in the kitchen, she pulled a cucumber out of the fridge to prepare a snack for herself, despite her mother Kris' offer to have her chef prepare it instead.

"Just gotta chop up some cucumber," Jenner said, rebuffing the offer. "It's pretty easy."

"You go girl," Kris replied. "Be careful, 'cause I nicked myself the other day."

With the cucumber on a cutting board, Kendall attempted to come at it with a knife in her right hand, steadying it by first placing her left hand on the open end of the vegetable extremely close to the knife. She then stretched her left hand over her right to grab the butt of the cucumber, before continuing to cut it.

"I definitely am not a good cutter, so don't zoom in on me," Jenner said to the camera. "I'm not professional whatsoever."

"Hey chef?" Kris called out after the comment, despite Kendall's protests. "Do you wanna cut this up for her?"

Other people commented on the moment on Twitter, with one person comparing it to a oft-memed moment from the first season of "Arrested Development" in which the obscenely wealthy Lucille Bluth (played by Jessica Walter) asks how much a banana could cost: "Ten dollars?"

"[Kendall's method] is neither efficient nor safe, making this an act of bravery," The Cut's Mia Mercado wrote in a blog titled "Does Kendall Jenner Know How to Cut a Cucumber?"
